If you have not encountered any problems, your
modem is installed and you can move on to Testing
Your Faxmodem, below. If you are having installa-
tion problems, see Chapter 4.
Testing Your Faxmodem
Before you set up your software, start with a quick test to
check that your modem is working.
Open the Control Panel and double-click Modems. Under
the Diagnostics tab highlight the COM port for your mo-
dem and click More Info. This queries the modem with AT
commands. A list of responses means the modem is con-
nected. You may also want to use HyperTerminal or an-
other terminal program to call a bulletin board system.
Once you have determined that your faxmodem is working
properly, go on to Chapter 2 to install your communica-
tions software.
If you determine that your faxmodem is not working, first
try shutting down your computer and restarting it. Some-
times this will help Windows 95 or 98 identify and activate
the correct drivers. If restarting your computer doesn’t
work, read Chapter 4, Problems and Solutions.
